To get to the point, I used AVG and it showed that I have several viruses. 1) Collected.5.L; 2) Dropper.Agent.PV; 3)Downloader.Agent.PN.

AVG tries to heal them, but after I reboot they just come back. I also have some things that installed themselves called freepod, 180search, and some file called mc-62-602-0000156.exe and mc-99-829-0000156.exe. Here is my HijackThis log:

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

First we need to make all files and folders VISIBLE:

Go to start>control panel>folder options>view (tab)

Choose to "show hidden files and folders,"

Uncheck the "hide protected operating system files" and the "hide extensions for know file types" boxes.

Thanks for the fast reply again. I still see Freeprod Toolbar and My Search Toolbar in my Add/Remove Programs. I also noticed that when I deleted the mc-99-829-0000156.exe, there was another file with a similar name in C:\Program Files\Common Files and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Download called mc-62-602-0000156.exe. Also, in C:\Program Files\Common Files I have two folders called InetGet and InetGet2 that have both freeprod and the mc-.exe files. Here is my HJT log:

Good detective work. If only all the users were as resourcefull as you

1. Please delete those files and folders

2. You can click on those icons and they shouldn't lead you anywhere. Try them after the deletions.

3. Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

I ran ad-aware and it's not finding anything. I ran AVG again, but it still finds Downloader.Agent.PN, Collected.5.L, Dropper.Agent.PN, and now Backdoor.Generic.ONJ. Also, I use AOL broadband and the way it's set up is that I have to sign on in order to use the internet, even for IE. After the virus, it is now always online, which I'm not fond of.
These are the infected files AVG found:
